Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $360,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $340,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for $348,000. The old machine was used to make product I43L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine.

If that were done, instead of investing $340,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $411,000.In making the decision to buy the
model 220 machine rather than the model 370 machine, the sunk cost was:
A. $348,000
B. $360,000
C. $340,000
